Driving Force: Empowering women entrepreneurs
"Everything we take for granted in life can be changed. Just because something has been done a certain way for a long time doesn’t mean that’s how it should continue to be done. Through my venture capital firm SoGal Ventures, which supports thousands of female entrepreneurs globally who are each pushing for admirable social and political change in the world, I want to show others that it’s important to never be satisfied with the status quo. For me, success is knowing your life’s purpose and working relentlessly towards it. My personal purpose in life is to help others, particularly those who face some form of discrimination in society, to fully realise their potential. Ultimately, my founding partner Elizabeth Galbut and I hope to create a new generation of wealth for women by funding inspiring female entrepreneurs, as well as pushing women to start equity investing early on so they have this accumulated wealth when they are older."
